jay_walk at 03:45pm on 01/07/2011 under design, opinions, sciencefictiony looking stuff, space, technologyI went to a museum in Russia on spaceflight and it was awesome.
And that icon is Luna 2. It actually existed and it actually went to the moon. To me it looks like an illustration to a really old fanciful science-fiction story. The ones where they still believed in martian civilization and spaceflight looked like diving bells with antennae. So it turns out that old science fiction is pretty much like reality when it was written (a lot of people did believe in martian canals still).
Soviet and Russian spaceflight has such nice aesthetics.
